POLL: What is the most viable Amiga platform for *you*?

[redrumloa]

First off, this poll is not meant to ruffle any feathers. I am simply curious the consensus in 2011 of Amiga.org users. The aim is for users to pick ONE option as if you forced to pick only one. Sadly, there is no pancakes option.

This poll may be discussed, but moderation may be with a heavy hand if debate gets personal or outright nasty. Also keep in mind I am not looking for what you think is the most viable platform, but rather the one that is the most interesting and viable for YOU.

I am excluding Commodore USA products as they are not released, there is nothing to form a full opinion on yet. Be polite and enjoy!

The poll will last for 30 days.

Voted Classic but I really do have high hopes for the NatAmi...

(Would have been better if it was a multi choice poll...

NatAmi is not out yet, so it stays out of the poll like Commodore USA's products.

Sadly it is exactly these kind of people C= USA is trying to con into buying their crap pretending they are somehow Amiga

Con is quite a harsh term, isn't it?

[redrumloa]

They didn't call them "C64" or "Amiga."

I don't remember people this up in arms about the Commodore 64 Web.It, fPET, mPET, eVIC, d'Amiga and so many others:lol:

[redrumloa]

But they didn't call them "C64" or "Amiga" - they called them what they really were: Commodore 386/486 PCs...

Commodore 64 Web.It

I reckon there is a wee bit more to you than just being the CUSA chief Fanboy than I first thought. I find it just a wee bit suspicious that you appear to have been at the meeting Red had with CUSA, very suspicious indeed...

Yaa!! I have not been part of a good conspiracy in a while. Please let me know what nefarious discussions took place. I really want to know!:lol:

@ dammy & redrumloa:
I have the feeling you think I was talking about C=USA of today, which isn't the case.

Actually I understood you were talking about the original Commodore, before the 1994 bankruptcy. I was just trying to point out that a "Commodore" company prior to current Commodore USA did indeed market and sell a PC using the name "Commodore 64". The Commodore 64 Web.It was a flop as far as I can tell when it came out in the mid-late 90's, but I don't remember the outrage that I am seeing out of some (not pointing fingers) today.
 
-Edit-
I should point out that I was deeply critical and cynical about Commodore USA and was pretty vocal about it, but I don't think I used terms like crook, con artist, scammer etc. I'm one of the old timers and wannebe historians, so I remember all of the vapor, scams and hoaxes all too well. Once I saw progress towards actual product, my stance softened. Some are still using terms like con artist, scammer etc. Seems a little harsh.

@ Redrumloa
 
Methinks you may mean this thingy...
 
WEB COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL - WEB IT
 
even though I wasn't on the net back then I do recall seeing a few articles about it in magazines at the time. It never received any favourable reviews and seemed to just disappear...
 
Big difference between that and the CUSA products though are the WCI WEB IT never attempted to look like the C64 or even make claims that it was the new C64 or it's successor...

Bzzt, but thanks for trolling^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h playing. Mechy has a parting gift for you at the door. From your own link.
 
The new C64 is based around MS-DOS and the internet as standard. The new machine retains compatibility with original CBM 64 software through the use of a software emulator. Whilst the exact emulator included is unknown, the emulator will allow the use of hundreds of games that can be downloaded from the internet.
 

 
The box says Commodore 64, the computer says Commodore 64. You are going to have to try harder than that to find an error in my recollection of Commodore history;)

On the Commodore adverts commercial subject, it's not an advert, but years ago I bought a c128 +1541 floppy at an auction (cost me $1:)). Included amongst the "bundle" was an old c64 vhs video tape. A sort of, "Welcome To The C64 + Programming" video. I've still got it, but have never watched more than a few minutes of it   Maybe once I get my classic amiga all sorted out I should buy a c64 or 128 to go along with the various c64 stuff I collected over the years  

Do you have the ability to convert it to a digital format? I would love to see this and see it preserved. If you don't have the ability, would you be willing to mail it to me to convert? -
I would return it when converted and the community would have it forever.
